Gas pedal noise

I have a 2008 Saab 9-3SS 2.0T. It currently has 82,600 miles on it. At about 65,000 to 70,000 miles I began to hear a noise when I lift my foot off the gas pedal. I had the transmission fluid changed at 75,000 miles and my local Saab service center did not think the noise was significant or related to the transmission or drive train. At 80,000 miles I had the exhaust system rubber hangers replaced.
The noise only occurs if while I am accelerating I abruptly lift my foot off of the gas pedal as I do in stop and go traffic with traffic lights, etc. If I reach a steady cruising speed or slowly lift my foot I don't hear the noise. Also, I may not hear the noise for a short period after I first start the 9-3 or if the outside temperature is 90 degrees F or above. The noise only lasts 1/3 to 1/2 of a second and has a pitch to it like a vibration but I don't feel a vibration. The pitch goes from hight to low and when I try to record the noise with my cellphone the tire noise drowns out my recording. I generally don't drive with the radio on, but if I do the I can't hear the noise. The air conditioner fan set to maximum also drowns out the noise. The noise is maximum if I do a hard acceleration before lifting my foot off the gas pedal and the noise is very noticeable to me in 40-60 degree weather and if I am driving at 30 to 40 mph.
Does any one know what this noise is or had a similar problems? Thank you for you response.
